Subsequent experience has seen the Stone Age divided into three distinct periods: old, middle and new. Also known as the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic. Furthermore, these ages have since been partitioned into old, middle and new. A rough guide looks something like this, using the Before Common Era terminology: 5000BCE (Late Middle Stone Age/Late Mesolithic) 4000BCE (Early New Stone Age/Early Neolithic - first Henges, Long Barrows, Causewayed Enclosures) 3250BCE (Middle New Stone Age/Middle Neolithic - first Stone Circles) 2750BCE (Late New Stone Age/Late Neolithic) 2250BCE (Early Bronze Age - first Round Barrows) 1750BCE (Middle Bronze Age) 1250BCE (Late Bronze Age) 750BCE (Iron Age - first Hill Forts) If anyone is aware of obvious errors in the information attached to each site, from historical and archaeological notes through to OS refs and directions, links and typos, please feel free to contact so that they may be ammended Flapjack Press [formerly Mucusart Publications] now has a new website at www.flapjackpress.co.uk Avon Gloucestershire Wiltshire Kent Oxfordshire Shropshire Gwynedd Derbyshire Staffordshire Yorkshire Cumbria Dumfrieshire Isle of Lewis Contact Exhibitions Links last update: 02 Feb '09
